The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is not what you would call an open group.

Tokyo Ghoul is not exactly known among fans for its sensible adaptation plans. Which is why it was a rather happy set of news today that along with the conclusion of Tokyo Ghoul:Re in three months we will also see a new season of its anime adaptation come October.

If you were to tell me last week there would be more Japanese Role Playing Games on Microsoft’s stage then Square Enix’s I would have laughed in your face. I would have done the same had you told me Spider-Man would be Sony’s capstone to their press event. However, that was the reality of the situation and in many…

On Microsoft’s big stage for E3 earlier this week a particular trailer was shown, for some it was just an anime JRPG however for others it was a confirmation they had been waiting nearly a decade for. Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition is a rare remaster - one people have been begging for. To understand why this…

With Solo: A Star Wars story not exactly setting the cinematic world on fire we now turn our attention to the future of the franchise and where it could go next.

With Gundam looking to have a big year in 2018 with multiple stories potentially including Gundam OO surprising potential sequel.

My Hero Academia has quickly become one of the most popular anime around. Fully embracing the history and tropes of the shonen genre it has become a consistently entertaining anime well deserving of its praise. However there are some elements of the show that seem to illicit confusion among both fans and detractors…

I have been watching a lot of anime recently as I continue to try to keep my New Years Resolution to not keep watching the same favorites over and over again. Luckily for me the back catalog of great anime is effectively infinite as there is no way a person can watch everything. As such there will always be a gem…

Generally as a rule I try not to speculate on rumors or theories that are running around the fandom. As they tend to be born of want more then actual information.
